FTLD™ - System Specification & Options Carefully define your application to ensure the most appropriate equipment     Advantages Specification     Self-generating temperature sensor Measures maximum temperature Initial site temperature check not needed Visible operating status Optional rate of change alarm (same unit) Alarm settings directly in degrees Alarms can be set before installation Interchangeable sensors Sensor not microphonic System check facility in sub zero band Alarm units for mains power or low voltage Sensor need not be near alarm unit Protective sheath:   Measuring element:   Sensor output:   Normal operating range:   Survival range:   EMI protection:   Insulation:   Minimum bend radius:   Construction:   Sizes:   Minimum length:   Hazardous area use:   Dual layer PTFE Type "K" thermocouple - insulated Millivolts DC related to maximum cable temperature (-29) to 80°C ( (-20) to 176°F ) (-40) to 200°C ( (-40) to 392°F ) Twisted cores & metallised tape tube Glass fibre impregnated with special insulating material 40 mm Twisted pair, NTC insulation, EMI screen, outer sheath 3.5mm O.D. approx. Cut to length as required 15 meters Measuring element is "Simple Apparatus"   The product is called FTLD (Flexible Thermocouple Line Detector) and it is a cable which is placed where you want to detect a overheating or fire. For example on a cable ladder in a tunnel. It is very easy to install, and can be mounted on the same cable ladder as the rest of the cables in the tunnel. The unique feature of FTLD is that it gives you the highest surrounding temperature even if it is present only on a short part of the total cable length.
